An Ajax Amsterdam fan who invaded the pitch and attacked AZ Alkmaar goalkeeper Esteban Alvarado has been sentenced to four months' jail by a Dutch court.

The judge gave the 19-year-old supporter - identified as Wesley van der W - an additional two months' suspended imprisonment. He was also ordered to report to a police station during matches involving Ajax, Alkmaar and the Dutch national team for two years.

Thecup match at the Amsterdam Arena on December 20 was abandoned in the 36th minute with AZ trailing 1-0 after goalkeeper Alvarado was sent off for kicking the fan who had launched a karate-style kick at him from behind.
